Glad you liked it HiddenInTheOpen. Everyone who enjoys it really! I don't like clowns. Getting better with them... slightly. Sorry for the delay, really working out where I am going with this. -^v^V^v^- Monday is almost over now. Anna has yet to be as cordial with Dina as she is with Marissa. I understand years of bad are hard to sweep under the rug, e...

Althea Markos remained awestruck as she sat in the living room of the gorgeous Beverly Hills home. She was sitting across from a potential client who was a famous novelist looking to host a small dinner party. While they spoke, she did her best to hide the fact that she was intimidated by this woman. Althea was still fresh from culinary school, and although...
Jodi and I have been friends all our lives. Growing up, she probably spent as many nights at my house as she did at home. My Mom called Jodi their third daughter. We shared nearly everything from 5th grade on -- everything but Jeremy Elder, the biggest hottie in our class. We fought over Jeremy our senior year, but neither of us ever became his "steady." To...
Verity swung her board hard left to avoid the jagged rocks. She was so used to surfing this stretch of beach, that she now did it almost without conscious thought. Even so, she wiped out as the wave, the board, and her balance all disagreed at once on how much was too much. When her head broke the surface of the water, she kicked out powerfully with her long...
This is the second chapter of this story and, if you haven't already read the first, I urge you to do so before continuing. In particular I urge you to read the disclaimer about historical accuracy -- in brief, don't expect any. If inaccuracies and anachronisms put you off then read elsewhere.

She had been checking the nursing schedule every week and was acutely aware tha...
Friday reminded me why it is that I hate Sydney summers. Sydney doesn't get any hotter than Melbourne, but it's a horribly muggy kind of heat. I was already getting sweaty by the time I got to the train station, and the forecast looked ugly: thirty-eight degrees, ninety-eight percent humidity. I was glad to get into the cooler air of the conference centre....
